Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Für viele Patienten mit HNO-, Ösophagus- und Bronchialkarzinomen stellen Ösophagitis und Inappetenz ein erhebliches Problem dar. Beides hat einen tiefgreifenden Einfluss auf den Ernährungsstatus der Patienten.
Methode
Klinisch bereits geprüfte komplementärmedizinische Behandlungsansätze wurden Zusammengestellt. Es erfolgt eine ergänzende Auflistung phytotherapeutischer Möglichkeiten aus dem Kanon der Traditionellen Europäischen Medizin (TEM).
Ergebnisse
Sowohl zur Behandlung der Inappetenz als auch der Ösophagitis gibt es eine Reihe medikamentöser und nichtmedikamentöser Behandlungsansätze, die der Onkologe kennen und beachten sollte. Europäische Phytotherapeutika sind bisher relativ selten einer klinischen Prüfung unterzogen worden.
Schlussfolgerungen
Die Nutzung komplementärmedizinischer Maßnahmen kann sowohl bei Appetitverlust als auch bei Ösophagitis im Einzelfall sinnvoll sein. Forschungsbedarf besteht insbesondere auf dem Gebiet der traditionellen europäischen Heilkräuter, da diese eine hohe Akzeptanz bei den Patienten haben.
Abstract
Background
Many patients with head, neck, bronchial or esophageal cancer suffer from loss of appetite and/or esophagitis due to multimodal treatment. Both symptoms have an important impact on the nutritional status of these patients.
Method
Compilation of several approaches of complementary alternative medicine (CAM), which were tested in clinical studies. Additionally, known phytopharmaceutical remedies from traditional European herbal medicine were listed.
Results
There are several drug-based and nonpharmaceutical therapeutic approaches for treating acute esophagitis and loss of appetite, which an oncologist should know and consider for treatment. So far there are only very few clinical studies investigating traditional European phytopharmaceutical drugs.
Conclusion
The use of CAM measures for improving appetite or inflammation of the esophagus can be reasonable in individual cases. More in-depth investigations of the effects of traditional European medicinal herbs are required as patients show a high consumer acceptance for these remedies.
